Pretty good deal on an older top of the line model.

I recently picked up a new unit from GPS Central in Calgary. They've got some nice stuff as well. For $200.00, picked up a Lowrance iFinder M+M, which has WAAS, builtin and upgradeable maps, 1000 waypoints, 99 user trails of up to 10,000 points, external antenna jack and a 240 by 180 pixel 4 grey lcd display. It accepts SD memory cards up to 1GB in capacity, runs on 2 AA batts, and comes with a car power adapter.

And it plays MP3s.

Also available is the Lowrance iFinder H20 which is pretty much the same unit, minus the music for $179.

I was very impressed with GPS Central -- I placed the order at around 7:30pm, and had an email back from a real person in less than 5 minutes, and had the package in my mailbox in less than 2 days.

The Lowrance seems like a nice unit -- quick to get a lock, and a nice, easy to read display, easy to navigate (if a bit too extensive) menus. My only issue is it's size, as I'm used to a tiny Geko. But it's comparable to most other GPSrs I've seen.

GPS Central is awesome. I have ordered items from them and with regular shipping have received them the next day. I have also stopped by to the store in Calgary and they are great people. Highly recommened.

I have a question about the eXplorist handhelds. It says that they're "non-mapping", yet each picture shows their screen with a map. Does this mean that you cannot download maps to them? Also, is it possible to download waypoints to them? (couldn't find the info at GPSCity)
